It must be great paying Sagan €5m a year to not even try and sprint

Yeah I don’t get it. He was in the crash with Ewan, but I figured he would recover at this point. Maybe he’s just too far behind to give a gently caress?

He doesn't look particularly happy whenever the camera is on him either.

He got his stage win already but I wonder if Alaphilippe is annoyed that he's come to the Tour to work as a sprint lead out man.

We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

Alaphillipe always seems genuinely happy to be riding for Cav from what I've seen. Might get old, I guess.

Edit: poo poo cobrelli. That sucks. Mind you I don't like him and I'm not entirely sure why so I'm not that bothered.

He's seemed happy when they're celebrating, chatty in the peloton, and he's been ferrying bottles around to the whole team from the car today, so I think he's chill with it. I think he came to the tour with realistic expectations and is just enjoying racing on the days for other people.

He's caught right back up and is in the front group. Wonder if he burnt out much getting back.

I appreciate Eurosport making a valiant effort to make Pogacar getting caught in a split sound exciting as if he would

A) care
B) not just cruise to the front and immediately crush the gap
